Komaru was glad that Anitoch had appeared pleased about the quality of the part. For a moment he was certain that dumpster diving in the back of stores wouldn't pay off and yet here he was. At the comment about becoming a magician as well, Maru let out a feminine giggle and placed his hands over his mouth to prevent himself from giving too much away. Just then a woman arrived on the scene in a fireball. She laughed maniacally as she fired down the ramp, landing before them in a gorgeous display of fire, speed and skill. Komaru applauded her performance to be his usual supportive self. The boy swiped his thumb along the keyboard in a quick text and showed it to the newcomer.
"Nice landing! You can seriously ride!"
Antioch, other the other hand, didn't seem to be one for being upstaged so easily. He flew up into the air after a wink as Maru cheered for his friend. His display of skill was drawing a crowd and for good reason. It was just as flash and flamboyant as the woman's. Komaru watched from below, the smoke reaching his level as multiple illusions of Antioch appeared before him on the tower. Maybe the smoke part was a tad touch too much. Then again, it was made specifically for clouds. Hard to say whether he liked having it tested on him.

---Road Tricks
-----→Impact Wind l Rank: C -------► By this point, the Wing Rider has control of the wind to the extent of affecting it directly at will. Through a very simple, but abrupt, body motion the user can influence the wind to the point of a very brief push. This sudden wind blast from very close quarters has a full body range, covering the user's circumference. The technique allows the user to disrupt close ranged wind efforts and halting incoming projectiles. This works by expelling the wind that is about them outwards, affecting its direction flow and amassing it briefly before the push following a strong and sudden 'flex' of the entire body. This is a C Class trick.
-----→ Flame! l Rank:E -------► Being the first hint at the Flame Road's run style, the initial technique is none other than the illusionary achievement of creating false flames. Beginner riders of the Flame Road first learn to transfer the heat energy accumulated in their run to that of updrafts, creating waves of heat to give the impression of literal fire being produced wherever the user laid foot. This not only fools other riders and gives off the impression of literal fire, but increases the effects of most Flame based tricks by acting as a catalyst for which heat based tricks to hold better effects. Eventually, Flame Road riders get to a point there they may produce these drafts and ride upon them, giving an impression of flight or riding on flames they blazed on their own. This is an E Class trick.
-----→ Afterburner l Rank C -------► After a certain point, the Flame Rider's reaches a point of more advanced control. Such is shown in the usage of the Afterburner trick. The user will disappear spontaneously, expelling heat in brief bursts. These bursts give the visual impression of fireballs being left in the user's wake, trailing behind them as small masses of illusionary flames. The difficulty of this trick lies in the required speed output and technicality. The trick name takes after that of a principle used in supersonic fighter jets. The user mimics the effects of forcing short, abrupt, speed bursts to produce shock waves and displace heat masses. This trick can only be used every other post. This is a C Class trick.
---Trick Passes -----→ Super Stride IV Sonic Boom l Rank: F | Stamina: 1 -------► This basic ground technique is used for evasion in a run as well as a manner of striking enemies on either side of the user with ease. The trick is usually practiced by criss crossing bottles or cans, performing rudiment 'Karaoke' styled feet transitions with the skates at top speed. The result is the ability to zig zag in short bursts to the left and right, able to veer with at least a seven foot distance between each strides beginning and end point. This allows the user to evade incoming projectiles of small size or maneuver to melee attack enemies in rapid succession. Ducking, spinning, and crouching are common variations of movements for this trick. This is a valuable asset to the rider's vocabulary, no doubt.
-----→Spinning Wallride Overbank 1800 l Rank: F | Stamina: 1 -------► Using this technique, Storm Riders rapidly propel themselves up a wall using a series of push-offs and spins to keep up momentum. This gives riders the ability to overcome walls thought impossible with a straightforward jump, and may even save them from falling.
-----→ In Step: Reverse Turn Stance l Rank: F | Stamina: 1 -------► The "In step" is a simple move of simply pointing the toes inwards meeting a 90"-45" degree angle placing their heels at an angle too. This positioning of the feet allows one to consistently keep themselves moving in an forward motion while the other skate causes them to veer to the left or right and perform something for a short or wide turn. This motion is a basic thing that most anyone can do but when reversing the forward motion into a backwards one reveals the full use of the In Step: Reverse Stance. The Stance causes a tight spinning turn about motion that can allow the rider to turn around abruptly to change direction fluidly out of their forward run. By slowing their motion and Turning all at once and one AT pulls back while the other pushes forward into the reversed motion. This way the rider can aim their back or front in any direction in short notice and perform attacks in this turn about fashion that may benefit from the recoiling whiplash of pulling back their forward momentum abruptly to swing their bodies about or continue to spin in place. This motion is more strong than fast and requires the rider to bend their knees slightly or rather low to adjust according to how much recoil their speed incurred. As time passes this turn about motion can fluidly work in to just about any run style the user may conceive as they progress growing more fluid as they grow in ability.
---Custom Tricks
-----→ Woopsie! [ aka Windshearing ] Rank: C | Stamina: 3 | Wear: 5% | Road: Wing -------► A simple movement trick to give a near instant change in direction to the user, whether on the ground or in the air. Through simple interfacing with the air the user will throw out their arms out and send a medium sized burst of wind. The burst of wind, when combined with a small quarter spin will allowing for the rider to make very sharp turns with little to no turning time. Using this trick too much however will cause extreme stress on the leg and abdominal muscles resulting in the inability to move your lower body. [Ain't momentum a b***h?] – No more than 1 use Per Post
-----→ Reincarnation Rank: C | Stamina: 3 | Wear: 5% | Road: Flame / Apollon -------► An inertia driven attack that combines the speed of the Air Treks with the high energy momentum developed from a high speed run to drive devastating kick through the opponent, sending them flying off in the opposite direction. The method in which is performed is very similar to the trick, "Giant Swing of Time," and similar to its predecessor works twice as effectively when used in conjunction with "Oh! Time!"

Celia watched as the masked man rose into the air with several clones of himself and rolled her eyes with a hand on her hip. Flash and little substance is what that road was, refracted light and reflections. The blonde dropped her stance slightly and suddenly exploded into motion, disappearing from where she stood and leaving the ground where she once stood shimmering , only to reappear on the side of the tower at equal level to where the masked man, however standing perpendicular to the ground as she eyed him while her AT seemed to be wreathed in flickering flames.
Antioch continued his performance of the Smoke and Mirrors road along the Tokyo Tower. Thousands of tourists visited the site from around the world so this was the best opportunity he could seize. After Celia landed she took to the tower again to stare at Antioch. But who could blame her? He was spectacular! While he was capable of refracting light as a result of the flame road, the true secret to his illusions were his abilities with smoke that were now enhanced with hallucinogens. After coyly smiling at Celia, he became a crimson smoke cloud and flew through the air away from the tower and performed his most incredible illusion of the show. There appeared to be hundreds of smokey apparitions that then quickly performed and disappeared. People in the audience were taking live footage on social media which did not go unnoticed as he began his descent. The crowd gasped as the smoke cloud approached them before he landed on his feet and seemingly appeared from the cloud of red smoke. His grand entrance included his hands being extended outwards in a confident fashion. The masked man looked at the cameras with a stoic expression. "I'm Antioch, Tokyo's greatest hero!" With that he seemingly disappeared in the cloud of smoke to the sound of thunderous applause. He used the smoke cover to quickly flee the scene. Antioch stopped his ride in a hiding spot as he caught his breath. "That was such a rush! That couldn't have gone any better. I never got that many eyes watching me with my magic shows alone. Stormriding is actually what they want to see." He thought as he grasped his chest and felt his high heart rate. Antioch watched the crowd disperse and go about their business before walking back up to Maru. "That went well! Thanks for your help! Hey, could I have your phone number?" The illusionist asked as he handed over his phone's contact list for her to input her number. He then waved up at Celia from the ground level to indicate where he was after his show was over.
The show displayed for his audience was abuzz as Antioch would spray his illusions around the tower as the boy watched on with a clear smile. He dove towards the ground as another plume of crimson smoke erupted from his treks. His audience gave thunderous applause as Maru would trot up to him and pause as the cameras circled him. His boisterous title of Tokyo's hero was all in good mannered fun. His vanished again as the crowd and Maru were left clueless as to where he had gone. At least he had gotten the hang of his news parts before the show had began. Looking over at the woman in red, Komaru offered a wave to her and began to go over until a familiar shade of black had been coming for him. He handed over his phone and Maru obliged, typing in his number with the name "Maru <3" above the number and handing it back to him.
"There. Call or text me if you need your lovely assistant to help you with something."
Komaru smiled a bit, looking away as a warmth spread to his cheeks. What was that strange feeling in his chest? Could it be Antioch's charms getting the better of him. He tussled his long pink hair and would laugh nervously.
"Don't worry. I'll keep our stuff between us."

So. . .the man wanted showmanship did he? Celia smirked as she held her hands out in front of her and brought them as she took a deep steady breath. Then, she suddenly exploded into motion, dashing up the tower with her AT wreathed in 'flames' until she kicked off into a graceful arc, trailing those dancing lights like a comet. Several times she kicked her leg, twisting her lower body to send herself into rapid pivots and pirouettes, shifting her momentum slightly with every motion , making it seem as if she were dancing on the breeze like a falling leaf until finally she landed , AT still shimmering and distorting the air as she stood up proudly and gave a sweet smile to a gaggle of dazzled children that had stopped to watch the show along with their baffled parents. "A hero is nothing before royalty my would-be-houdini, and even if your tricks are enough to give the illusion of greatness, you'll always be in the shadow of the Queen of the Sun!" With a smirk the blonde coasted over to the pink haired boy and turned him to face her, fixing his eyes with her emerald orbs. "You made this man's AT I take it?" Celia brushed her fingers against his cheek softly as she purred her words "That's far too much potential you're wasting on little parlor tricks. Why not come be mine little one? Have your work be appreciated by someone that can reflect eh beauty of your work?"

Antioch smiled kindly and accepted his phone back. He sent Maru a text back to make sure that she would have his number too. He chose to send a puff of smoke emoji that was characteristic of him and would be unmistakable. He then looked up and saw the blond girl riding around with illusory flame. He was also of the flame road and recognized these abilities instantly. When she approached them Antioch listened with minor annoyance. He looked down at a nonexistent watch before responding. "Look at the time! It's half past "I'm tired of your existence" o'clock. I need to go!" He smiled impishly at his comment before planting a kiss on each of Maru's cheeks and placing some more cash in her hand for her work on the 3D imaging part. "I'll catch you later! Text me if you need anything!" He gave another charming wink before his wheels took over and he blasted away, leaving behind a blast of black exhaust smoke aimed at Celia. In little time, he was out of the Tokyo Tower area and off to find new adventures.
The woman in red appeared to strike a nerve with Antioch, who snapped at him with an insult of his skills. The boy replied back with his own stinger after giving a little show of his feelings for her: a rather taunting emoji. Antioch would rid over to Maru and place a kiss upon one cheek and then the next. Immediately Maru's heart would begin to beat as fast as a pair of treks. His legs quivered as his hands held onto the lump of cash that was given to him as his mind was currently crashing faster than Windows 10 on launch day. Ha! Dated reference! Antioch waved him off before pushing another plume of smoke in Celia and his faces. The poor tuner was still stunned by the soft lips of the rider he had just helped. He didn't want to admit it but that was his first kiss kind of. Was it though? He hadn't had kissed back. Did that still count? Before Maru knew it, his cheeks would be held and forced to look at the woman in red as she would speak with him.
"You made this man's AT I take it?"
Komaru hesitated, his cheeks the same shade of red as her attire, and would slowly nod his head up and down. He was always intimidated so easily, this woman was like a bear picking on a shiba inu at this point. His chin was melting in hers hands as the petite boy had no place to go or really any ability to run. His hands would fiddle with themselves as he let out a soft, high pitched whine.
"That's far too much potential you're wasting on little parlor tricks. Why not come be mine little one? Have your work be appreciated by someone that can reflect eh beauty of your work?"
The boy was still quiet, puffing out his cheeks at her compliment. Why did everyone think he was cute? It was a blessing and a curse. He reached into his sweater pocket to store the cash and pull out his phone to answered her via text.
"D-Did you need something done for you, Miss? I can help... (ó﹏ò｡) "

Celia smirked as she leaned a little closer to the pinkette. "I need a lot of things done for me, but for the time being I'll settle for you working for me." The blonde was close enough that the smell of cinnamon in her perfume would block out the scents of the city around them. "I'll offer you an exclusive room in my home, a place for your workshop, food, internet, funding. Everything you could want, and the privilege of being in my domicile as well as being my link tuner. I aim to be the next Queen of Flame and Queen of the Sky, and I'll need someone to optimize my regalia."
Oh gods, she was so close. Maru could feel the woman's breath hit his poor trembling cheek. He let out another whine as that sweet scent of hers wafted into his nose. Cinnamon. It was his favorite... Celia offered him so much, something he was lacking in so many aspects. A workshop and bed sounded so much better than a park bench. Maru's reddened face made more cute noises as he mulled it over and would slowly nod his pink head up and down. More texting as an answer came.
"I'll help you. A place to stay sounds nice and helping you become a Queen but please stop making me blush..." (ó﹏ò｡) "

The Stance causes a tight spinning turn about motion that can allow the rider to turn around abruptly to change direction fluidly out of their forward run. By slowing their motion and Turning all at once and one AT pulls back while the other pushes forward into the reversed motion. This way the rider can aim their back or front in any direction in short notice and perform attacks in this turn about fashion that may benefit from the recoiling whiplash of pulling back their forward momentum abruptly to swing their bodies about or continue to spin in place. This motion is more strong than fast and requires the rider to bend their knees slightly or rather low to adjust according to how much recoil their speed incurred. As time passes this turn about motion can fluidly work in to just about any run style the user may conceive as they progress growing more fluid as they grow in ability.

-----→ Woopsie! [ aka Windshearing ] Rank: C | Stamina: 3 | Wear: 5% | Road: Wing -------► A simple movement trick to give a near instant change in direction to the user, whether on the ground or in the air. Through simple interfacing with the air the user will throw out their arms out and send a medium sized burst of wind. The burst of wind, when combined with a small quarter spin will allowing for the rider to make very sharp turns with little to no turning time. Using this trick too much however will cause extreme stress on the leg and abdominal muscles resulting in the inability to move your lower body. [Ain't momentum a b***h?] – No more than 1 use Per Post
-----→ Reincarnation Rank: C | Stamina: 3 | Wear: 5% | Road: Flame / Apollon -------► An inertia driven attack that combines the speed of the Air Treks with the high energy momentum developed from a high speed run to drive devastating kick through the opponent, sending them flying off in the opposite direction. The method in which is performed is very similar to the trick, "Giant Swing of Time," and similar to its predecessor works twice as effectively when used in conjunction with "Oh! Time!"

Celia giggled and pulled back as she tugged the phone from his fingertips. "You've made a wise decision my darling, stay with me and I'll see you're provided for until the end of your days." The blonde snapped a quick selfie and attached it to a number in Maru's phone before pushing it back into his hands. "Now then my little pink dumpling, I think you look like you need a bite to eat. Get your things, wherever they may be, and I'll lead you to my...well, our home now. Also get used to birds because this" she held a hand out as the raptor that had been soaring around her earlier shrieked and landed on her sleeve, spreading its golden brown plumage as it cocked its head at Maru, fixing him with its fierce eyes "Is our roommate, Boudica."
The phone was easily pulled from his grasp as the blonde continued to be a dom to him and promise him such great things. He began thinking of the first thing he would do. Maybe go and sleep in a bed. That sounded nice. After a picture and some texting, she placed the phone back into his hands and Maru looked at it. Celia. It was an embarrassing picture for him but Maru had managed to keep his hands over his face. As requested he picked up his cardboard box of his belongings at his feet and lugging it underneath of his arms.
"I'm ready when you are!"
Then that bird came shrieking down in a marvelous and terrifying display of plumage and whatever other terms of raptorhood carried with it. Boudica gave him a rather intimidating look as Maru tried to do his best to return that look of intimidation back but...Well, the boy was about as threatening as a dog with skates.
"H-Hi, Boudica. It's nice to meet you both..." (ó﹏ò｡) "

---Road Tricks
-----→Impact Wind l Rank: C -------► By this point, the Wing Rider has control of the wind to the extent of affecting it directly at will. Through a very simple, but abrupt, body motion the user can influence the wind to the point of a very brief push. This sudden wind blast from very close quarters has a full body range, covering the user's circumference. The technique allows the user to disrupt close ranged wind efforts and halting incoming projectiles. This works by expelling the wind that is about them outwards, affecting its direction flow and amassing it briefly before the push following a strong and sudden 'flex' of the entire body. This is a C Class trick.
-----→ Flame! l Rank:E -------► Being the first hint at the Flame Road's run style, the initial technique is none other than the illusionary achievement of creating false flames. Beginner riders of the Flame Road first learn to transfer the heat energy accumulated in their run to that of updrafts, creating waves of heat to give the impression of literal fire being produced wherever the user laid foot. This not only fools other riders and gives off the impression of literal fire, but increases the effects of most Flame based tricks by acting as a catalyst for which heat based tricks to hold better effects. Eventually, Flame Road riders get to a point there they may produce these drafts and ride upon them, giving an impression of flight or riding on flames they blazed on their own. This is an E Class trick.
-----→ Afterburner l Rank C -------► After a certain point, the Flame Rider's reaches a point of more advanced control. Such is shown in the usage of the Afterburner trick. The user will disappear spontaneously, expelling heat in brief bursts. These bursts give the visual impression of fireballs being left in the user's wake, trailing behind them as small masses of illusionary flames. The difficulty of this trick lies in the required speed output and technicality. The trick name takes after that of a principle used in supersonic fighter jets. The user mimics the effects of forcing short, abrupt, speed bursts to produce shock waves and displace heat masses. This trick can only be used every other post. This is a C Class trick.
---Trick Passes -----→ Super Stride IV Sonic Boom l Rank: F | Stamina: 1 -------► This basic ground technique is used for evasion in a run as well as a manner of striking enemies on either side of the user with ease. The trick is usually practiced by criss crossing bottles or cans, performing rudiment 'Karaoke' styled feet transitions with the skates at top speed. The result is the ability to zig zag in short bursts to the left and right, able to veer with at least a seven foot distance between each strides beginning and end point. This allows the user to evade incoming projectiles of small size or maneuver to melee attack enemies in rapid succession. Ducking, spinning, and crouching are common variations of movements for this trick. This is a valuable asset to the rider's vocabulary, no doubt.
-----→Spinning Wallride Overbank 1800 l Rank: F | Stamina: 1 -------► Using this technique, Storm Riders rapidly propel themselves up a wall using a series of push-offs and spins to keep up momentum. This gives riders the ability to overcome walls thought impossible with a straightforward jump, and may even save them from falling.
-----→ In Step: Reverse Turn Stance l Rank: F | Stamina: 1 -------► The "In step" is a simple move of simply pointing the toes inwards meeting a 90"-45" degree angle placing their heels at an angle too. This positioning of the feet allows one to consistently keep themselves moving in an forward motion while the other skate causes them to veer to the left or right and perform something for a short or wide turn. This motion is a basic thing that most anyone can do but when reversing the forward motion into a backwards one reveals the full use of the In Step: Reverse Stance.

Celia jerked her arm slightly, sending the eagle soaring off back into the sky above where it circled several times before jetting away, likely to torment some small animal it decided it wanted for lunch. "Come along then" the blonde gestured with her finger as she began to casually skate away before leaping and riding up the wall of a nearby building to make it to the roof. "My home isn't too far, skylight should still be open!" Celia shouted, kicking her legs backward to turn a leap into a backflip. Somewhere overhead the eagle shrieked again and swooped down to ride alongside its master as she rode the trail home. -Exit-
With nowhere left to go, Komaru followed the mysterious woman who had offered him a home and food. They broke away and the boy felt a wave of relief flush over his system. Why was everyone so eager to pick on the cute ones? He rocketed up the tower on Celia's heels and holding his hands out as she raced across the town on her trail. -EXIT-

Was he supposed to be angry or otherwise? What was there to say to, well, himself?
"You need to learn your place. You're only here to do what I can't when I need you. Otherwise, stay in that cage and be good." Tch. "Who're you to tell me what to do. I was here first. The only reason I let you have control is for the better of us. I have no interest in the boring outside world. I only want to ride." The nerve. "Good. Then that's when you're useful. Otherwise, never bother Ono and Jax again. I do fine handling them without you." The inner argument happened as Giselle lightly rode along the streets. The rustle and bustle of Tokyo a good way to keep his thoughts from running too rampant. People watched in awe as he flew through the air; some pointing as he whipped his body in a circle to evade a sign. Barely did he pay mind to his own actions, but that ability to ride remained the same.
Before he knew it, he was sitting on the edge of the very top of Tokyo Tower.
Staring out with a bland expression, a hint of sadness as hands raised with a exasperated view. Visage and all. Spurned by Ono with that look, only to have Jax sit back and watch. "I forget so easily that when it comes to those two, I'm the third wheel in this." Air whistled as hues trailed the sky and digits danced to their own beat. "The wind feels nice tonight. . I guess I'll ride just a bit more. ." Standing back to full height, he'd raise a heel before preparing to jut off. But, just as he was, something tugged at him.
"Ah! Before you go get to tagging. Remember what we came back to Japan to do. At least make yourself useful in that regard." Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had a point. Going into his pocket, Giselle tossed what looked like an R on a random spot. The sticker a representation of his makeshift team. This would work out well enough until they had something more official. ". . I'll make a night of this. Better than nothing." From there he turned again, once again preparing to jut off into the distance.
The breath she takes is heavy—large, full, and chilly—quelling the cauldron of ire and sorrow that simmers within her. Was every villain a monster? Was every hero a saint? Or is a hero a monster that has not broken out yet? And would you recognize it? People who bear the same monsters know each other, but the key was not forgetting who you really are; when alone at night, looking up at the stars, or lying in the comforts of silken sheets on a bed in total darkness, you know that nameless person inside you.
Spring’s tipped over into Summer, bringing a cold snap at its heels. It winds its way across the flats of Tokyo, expelling gusts of rain across the roads until they’re slicked and treacherous with reflecting gleam. There are patches of the city here where the shadows are so dark they have names and families, entire generations spanning back to the time before they crawled down from the mountains. Gales rustle the trees, quietude unrivaled like the forbearing toll of bells in evenfall, as though they whisper secrets to one another about the presence of unnatural there.
She coasts forward: unhesitating movements showing no signs of deceleration. Windswept pink tresses waver, framing rosen features crowned by a Thrasher hooded jacket fully-lined and water resistant. Pillars donned ripped and hole-riddled blue jeans, their continuous shifting nearly silent. At least until she noticed the storm rider ascending to the tower's top; hard to miss given the giant man-made erection in the center of the city. Visage stares skyward, the light drizzle sheltered by a lifted hand.
The hell were they doing up there?
Eyne fraction, thick lashes slit perception to better it. From the hip holstered bag, Monte pulls out her phone promptly, attempting to figure out who exactly was in the same location through the network. A plethora pinged, however, one sat directly on top of her dotted loci.
